- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Servings: 2
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A pinch of red chili flakes for a bit of heat
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the fresh spinach leaves to the pan and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and red chili flakes if using. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, crack the eggs and cook to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of whole grain bread to a golden brown in a toaster or on a skillet.
- To assemble, place an equal amount of sautéed spinach on each slice of toast. Top each with a perfectly fried egg.
- Serve immediately, with a steaming cup of coffee or your favorite morning beverage.
Helpful Tips
- For a creamier texture, lightly butter the toast before adding the spinach and egg.
- Try adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
- If you prefer scrambled eggs, those work just as well in this recipe. Simply scramble the eggs in a separate pan and place them on top of the spinach.
Storage Instructions and Ingredient Substitutions
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store any leftover sautéd spinach in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Ingredient substitutions: Feel free to use baby kale or arugula in place of spinach. Multi-grain bread or a gluten-free option works just as well for the toast.
